Westchester County is incredibly lucky to have The World Seido Karate Organization right in our own…read morebackyard. Under the leadership of one of the truly few World Renowned Martial Arts Grandmasters, Kaicho Nakamura and his son, successor, and Chief Instructor, Nidaime Nakamura, Seido has become an integral part of not only my life but my entire family as well. A global organization with branches on almost every continent in the world, training is focused on "Karate-Do: The training of mind, body, and spirit to realize the fullness of human potential". As a true traditional Japanese martial art, training is comprised of a dedicated approach to mastering the fundamentals as building blocks to advanced and more complex techniques and requirements as one progresses at their own pace. You will sweat and push yourself, at times, further than you thought you can be pushed. Having trained at The Westchester branch for over 6 years this month, Seido has become an important part of my life where everyone focuses on the concept of Renma, "Keep Polishing" (Improving), regardless of physical ability, age, or rank. So much so, that my wife and I made the decision to introduce our elementary aged twin daughters to Seido earlier this year. The children's program is wonderful and puts exceptional credence to safety, development, and building confidence among the kids and teens. I've witnessed this firsthand as I help assist children's classes periodically. It's been a pleasure to refer Seido to many of our close friends, who also are either members themselves or enrolled their kids in the children's program and train with my girls. All of the instructors are wonderful people who I would trust with my daughters implicitly, without reservation. The organization as a whole attracts high caliber people from different walks of life, who bring a common denominator to the Seido community of being a genuinely good person. I couldn't recommend Seido enough to anyone and everyone. Having never trained in the martial arts before, yet always curious, as challenging and demanding as training is, the hardest part for me was getting the courage up to walk through the door on a particularly cold March evening in 2016. The rest has been exceptionally fulfilling, you won't regret it!

They have both consistently attended 2 classes a week, and both still really enjoy it. I highly recommend anyone interested in a dojo for their kids to go for the trial lessons offered. What drew us to the dojo, and why it has been so beneficial for my sons, is the traditional and deep teaching which Sensei provides, given his vast experience. Further, Sensei and Lisa provide a structured and focused environment, which helps my sons practice discipline, stillness of mind, and control of body, which is what I was seeking for them, given the excitement and mayhem which surrounds so much our daily world. Where kids find self-control challenging when doing activities together, I appreciate the practice they get every class, as behaviroal expectations are clear, an the environment is set for them to learn and grow.

I trained in martial arts as a youth as the mental training is as important as the physical side. He is accredited with Moo Duk Hwan program and the art is Soo Bahk Do which comes from the original ancient martial arts from Korea. The program is really about training in the art as opposed to "dozens" of multi-colored belts and a constant barrage of tests to get more money from students. I've seen too many studios go down this path these days. A race to get black belt as "fast as you can".

My 2 little ones are currently enrolled here and love it. Here is the reason. Approximately 2 years…read moreago my son wanted to learn karate after being inspired from watching movies like the original Katate Kid, Jackie Chan, Bruce lee, Ninja turtles, we decided to enroll him in the Academy. But like all kid interests comes shyness and fear of failing. Getting him through the front door and meeting new people was a task in itself. This is where real professionalism takes control. One of the Sensei, or instructor, took my son in to the class and slowly introduced him to punching and kicking to raise my son's morale and that not everything is designed to fail, but to learn from it and do better every time. This can be seen in the pics uploaded. When my son broke his first board and receiving his white belt, he was scared no more. He started to talk more, meet new friends, learn more karate skills and techniques. As he time progressed, my daughter saw the things my son was doing in the Academy and she as well wanted to enroll. Although her jumping jacks resemble a a flightless bird flapping its wings, she too, like her brother was determined to do better. Two years passed and they both received numerous belts and escalated into different classes. Now all they can think about is karate this and karate that. And sometimes they use me as a punching bag to show me what they learned that day. Co-vid was dismal time during 2020. However, just like my kids, the Academy progressed and adapted. The Academy found new ways to keep our kids learning even from far away. Like regular school at that time, they created training through live zoom classes. It was great. They came up with ways improvisation where if the kids needed certain equipment to learn or practice, whether on/off zoom. The instructors were able to give each student "their time" to shine and show off their skills at home. When co-vid restrictions slowly died down, the Academy continued to make sure learning in class was safe for both student and instructors. They maintained the space requirement, with masks and before and after every session they allow time for themselves to disinfect the Dojo using some high quality cleaning machines. If you are looking for a place for your kids to learn. I strongly suggest this place.

They treat everyone equally, and care greatly for their students being "educated" about karate-do (karate as a way of life). From the importance of respect for others, to self-respect for oneself, their approach is truly holistic and hands-on. Yet they never lose sight of the key ingredient: proper training in the art of karate. Kids benefit greatly through increased concentration needed to take part in each class. I would guess it translates into better experiences, and grades, at school as well. Highly recommended!!
